lApplication led March 6, 1914. Serial No. 822,858.

convenient and inexpensive device havlnga brilliant light-reflecting surface not damageable by falling or hammering.

I attain the above object by providing a device with depressible surfaces on which a light-reflecting medium is provided.

The inventlon consists ofthe construction and combination of parts to bemore fully described hereinafter and fully set forth in the claims. y.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofvthis specication, in which like characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views and in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of an Indian club embodying my invention partly sectionalized to show the detail of construction; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2 2, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 shows a modified structure of the body of the Indian club; and Fig. 4 shows a fragment of a ring embod ing my invention.

Referring to the drawing, the Indian club 5 is rovided with an extension 6, preferably ormed integral therewith, about which a padding 7 of cotton flannel, or any other suitable material, is formed. A foil 8 having a high light-relecting surface envelops the annel and is secured thereto in any suitable way, said foil merging with the surface of the handle, and with said paddin on said extension it forms with the han le the shape of the Indian club. Brilliant members 9, such as rhinestones, are mounted on the foil in any suitable wa They can either be first secured to the foil before the foil is attached to the padding, or they can be mounted after the foil has been secured in lace. Furthermore, the' rhinestones may he mounted on a longitudinal member which may be wound on a mounted foil and secured thereto in any suitable way. The surface of the foilis made to reflect rays the handle of of different colors by selecting differently colored foil. As shown in Fig. 1, the upper portion'of thefIndian club carries a foil of green color, while the lower portion carries a foil of red color, whereby the upper portion will reflect, green rays and the lower portion red rays. It is understood that more than two colors can be used and in different relations to each other, thus obtaining a greater variety in colors. The rhinestones on said surface increase the brilliancy by sparkling with light from said color-reflecting surfaces.

In place of forming the extension 6 as shown in Fig. 1 and covering the 'same with a padding, the club may be made hollow below the handle and that portion formed, preferably, of rubberized material 10, so that the sides thereof can be deflected when pressure is applied thereto. To theouter v surfaces of the rubberized material the foil 8' and the rhinestones 9 are secured in a way similar to that stated above.

In Fig. 4 a fragment of a ring is shown wherein the inner annular core 11 is covered with Va padding 7 on which the foil 8' and the rhinestones 9 are mounted. Balls used for juggling purposes can also be provided with rhinestones on the outer surfaces in ways similar to what has been described for- Indian club and ring.

From the above description it will be seen that the rhinestones mounted on a high relflecting surface of foil can not be damaged when the said devices fall on the floor or are hammered against the door or against each other during an exhibition. The padding 7 which is provided between the extension and the rhinestones prevents damage t o the rhinestones, as the said padding permits depression of the surface to a great extent and thus eliminates injury to the 'rhinestones and foil.

In Fig. 3 the structures shown permits the depression of the surface without .the provision of the padding, as the body of the `Indian club itself is depressible, and thereby the same results are obtained lwithout'. paddigg.

aving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A jugglers device, the sides of which can be deflected, and light reflecting means on said sides. l

S2. A "u dlers device havin "de re'ssible" l ge, g P

sides and light reflecting media carried by said sides.

3. A ,jugglers' device lnvingxdepressible 1 surface; light reecting' foil on'said surface; and brilliant members on said foil.

6. An Indian club having adepressible surfce'; lightrelecting foil von said surface;

andrhinestones on said foil.

7. An Indian -club comprising, a handle having an extension; padding on said e tension; n lightreiiectingfoil on said padding; und rhinestones on sid foll.

SBA juggles device having a surface 20 padded with cotton flannellg' colored foil 0n said padding forming a light reflector thereon; and rhinestones onl said foil.

In testimony whereof 4I `have signed my nume to this specification in the presence of 25 two subscribing Witnesses.
